Dreiling began handling less than two years ago. She bought Pippy as a family pet and decided to enter a show one weekend.

She later won a lottery to compete in the Westminster Dog Show.

"I'm very excited," said Dreiling. "I love dogs and can't wait to be there."

Dreiling and Pippy leave for New York this weekend.
